MA in Gerontology

We all know that getting older can be tough. However taking care of an estimated population
of 70 million U.S. seniors by the year 2030 might prove to be even tougher. Webster's
gerontology curriculum will provide you with the essential knowledge regarding aging
individuals and the impact of this "age wave" on social, economic, and political structures.

Coursework draws on a wide range of disciplines from management, economics, and political
science to the behavioral, natural and social sciences. You'll learn how to provide
vital services for the older adult population, including policy development; case
management; community-based services; product design and advertising; administration;
home health services; human resources; and direct services such as counseling, medical,
and financial-planning. The degree is also beneficial for entrepreneurs who focus
on the growing senior consumer market.

Webster's MA in Gerontology program is available entirely online for maximum flexibility
and convenience. You can take courses through Webster's WorldClassRoom to complete
your degree, so your progress never has to go on hold, even if you relocate or travel
for work.
